Indian Railways on Monday became the first company in the country to provide customer complaint services on a mobile app besides providing the facility online by launching a complaint management system (Coms).

The Coms comprises the mobile app, an online portal backed by a centralised grievance redressal monitoring system and a mobile network messaging facility.

"Passengers can also SMS their complaints on the mobile number," the railway authorities said in a statement.

Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu on Monday said the app and the web portal will act as a suggestion forum as the complaint can be tracked once the supplicant registers with the app or online.

He said the railways welcome suggestions from people to further improve passenger services and valuable suggestions on this newly launched portal can be incorporated in all possible ways, if found suitable.
